Here is a solution I found to work well that builds upon jaydee3's answer:

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{ 
     if (editingStyle == UITableViewCellEditingStyleDelete) {
          // hide cell, because animations are broken on ios7
          double iosVersion = [[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue];

          if (iosVersion >= 7.0 && iosVersion <= 8.0) {
              // Animating the cell's alpha change gives it a smooth transition
              // Durations > .17 show the glitch on iPad, phone looks nice up to 0.3
              [UIView animateWithDuration:0.17 animations:^(void) {
                  [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath].alpha = 0.0;
              }];
          }
          NSArray *deleteIndexPaths = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:indexPath, nil];

          // UITableViewRowAnimationFade looks nice with the animation imho
          [tableView deleteRowsAtIndexPaths:deleteIndexPaths withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationFade];
     }
}
